I use git to manages patches in my Gentoo development. In Gentoo, all ebuilds (another form of RPM spec) corresponding to different versions of the same package are grouped into one directory. So patches for each versions usually have a prefix to separate them from the ones for other versions. With --prefix it comes handy to produce such patches, for example: git format-patch --prefix dbus-1.2.3- HEAD~5 will generate patches for dbus-1.2.3 for me, all starting with "dbus-1.2.3-". This might be handy for RPM developers as well.
I'm thinking this could be confused with '--subject-prefix' which was given the long option to *not* confuse it with cover-letters and filename prefixes. Any chance you could make it --filename-prefix instead? Since it already lacks a short option, the extra typing will probably be worth it to avoid unnecessary confusion. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
